Vacation Rental Description

The Athens First Luxury duplex penthouse is the premier luxury vacation rental in Central Athens.

Located in the heart of one of central Athens finest downtown neighborhood, yet on a side street so quiet that even our Athenian friends can't believe we are just a 15 minute walk from the action in Plaka, Syntagma Square and Kolonaki!

This contemporary vacation rental has three bedrooms and two full baths, and an open floor plan living room and American style kitchen with a entire wall of glass that opens out onto the large comfortable veranda.

Our guests enjoy dining al fresco and just lounging on the main floor veranda, while others in the group sneak up to the second level veranda to enjoy the Athens sunshine and relax on the sunbeds.

Evening often finds everyone on the roof terrace, watching the suns final moments as it disappears behind the Acropolis, sipping ouzo as the moon rises and the lights on the church of St George atop Mount Lykavittos come on and the Parthenon glows atop the Acropolis.

Two bedrooms have double beds, while the third has two single beds. Each level of the penthouse has a full bathroom, and our solar water tanks ensure there is always hot water. Each room in the penthouse is full air conditioned, and in the winter the apartment has self controlled heat. Guests also love that we provide both a full size clothes washer and clothes dryer, so you won't have to spend you holiday hanging the clothes out to dry.

The apartment has its own desktop computer and printer, but if you have brought your own we'll give you the code to connect to our wireless high speed internet connection.

About Greece Athens

The Athens First vacation rental penthouse is located within a 15 minute walk of Syntagma Square, steps from vibrant Imittou Street which is lined with cafes and restaurants.

Within a block of the apartment you'll find supermarkets, green grocers, shops and movie theaters. In the summer months our neighborhood has outdoor movies in three locations, and year round you'll have a chance to experience the "laiki" or outdoor farmers market, which happens three times a week.

If you are looking to escape to the beach, the coastal tram stop is located adjacent to the Old Olympic Stadium, and for those who don't want to walk a trolley from the corner will get you there quickly.

About me: Wow, who would have thought when I told my husband I wanted to buy a little pied-a-terre in his hometown, Athens, Greece, that I'd end up with the greatest accidental career of my life? Born and raised in Chicago, my love for travel was evident early on. Perhaps it was my arrival in the world, early one December morning, way quicker than my siblings had, in fact so quick we were still enroute to the hospital, and I still hold the title of youngest patient ever admitted to that north suburban hospital! (And thus, as a Sagittarius, characteristically smitten with wunderlust). I traveled my home country extensively with my family as a child, and was fortunate to have parents who encouraged us to study a second language young. While my language of choice as a child was French, my culture of choice was Greek - My earliest jobs were always in Chicago's Greek diners, my university days filled with hours playing backgammon in the cafeteria with my Greek friends, and my Eurail passes always started and ended my European backpacking holidays in Greece. So no one was surprised when I met Basil, a romantic writer but practicing translator and linguist, born and bred in Athens, but transplanted to Chicago, fell in love, and married him. While our life in Chicago was full, rehabbing a warehouse we purchased to house ourselves, our son and our growing Greek translation agency, I longed to plant some roots for our family in Basil's hometown. A small studio overlooking Mount Lykavittos was to be our Athens crash pad, but thanks to what seemed then an unfortunate turn of events, our home in Athens ended up being the beautiful Athens First Luxury Duplex. Larger than we had planned, offering it as a short term furnished rental seemed the logical way to afford it. Little did we realize that it would become so popular we'd be sleeping on friend's couches rather than in our own Athens home! Tired of being homeless in Athens, we purchased a second penthouse directly adjacent to the Athens First. In 2006 we completed the renovations of three additional short term furnished rentals. As I said early on, this is the greatest accidental business one could imagine, and I love sharing my adopted city with visitors. Our guests repeatedly thank us for the little extras that often mean so much when you are planning what is often a once in a lifetime trip. As an ex-pat in Athens, I know the wonderful off the beaten path places that can make a holiday special, and I also know how to stay on the tourist path without feeling like you are being herded along with the crowds. Feel free to email me with your questions as you plan your trip to Athens - just one of the little extras guests of Greek Vacation Rentals will find when they share our homes in Athens.
